Thank you for purchasing your new Lawn Glider from CandyBouncer.com. Please unpack your glider and make certain no parts are missing or damaged. Should you encounter an issue with your glider, its parts or the assembly process please contact CandyBouncer.com at 512-663-2808. Email: Support@CandyBouncer.com

The assembly of the glider can be accomplished by one person however, during a few of the assembly steps a helper makes it much easier and may avoid damage to the finish. It is also easier to work from a padded table or other suitable raised flat surface.

Please note. Fastener kits have been upgraded to stainless steel. Eight (8) locking style nuts are provided and separately bagged to use when securing the Four (4) Swing Arms to frame.
